C/o Usman Danladi,

Bagida Estate.
email: contactusman07@yahoo.ca
Date:4th June, 2005.
Dear Sir/Madam.
I am Dr. (Mrs.) Maryam Abacha, the wife of the late Nigerian Head of states, General Sani Abacha who died On the 8th June 1998 of heart problems while on active Duty as the head of State and Commander in chief of the armed forces Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I am contacting you because of my present needto engage in a mutually beneficial business partnership with person whom I have not had dealings before and who do not have any political indignation in my country, Nigeria.
Since the death of my husband in 1998, the Nigerian Government has subjected my family to all sorts of harassment, intimidation and persecution. This is because the people in the government now are people who believe that my husband victimized them while he was in power.
They have frozen numerous bank accounts and seized monies and assets running into hundreds of millions of dollars belonging to my family under the excuse that my late husband stole the money. It is in view of this that I seek the assistance of honest, God fearing people like you to help me.
Presently I have with me the sum of US$35 million, which I wish to transfer abroad as discreetly and as expeditiously as possible and I wish with your help to apply this fund towards investment purposes in Your country.
This money was my husband's share in a debt buy back contract deal between myhusband and a Russian company in our country's multi-billion dollar Ajaokuta Steel project. The Russian company Returned my husband's share of US$35 million after his death and i lodged it with a security company in Europe where it will be safe and secured.
With the intensification of the Nigeria Government probe into my family's finances and the consequent detention of my son Mohemmed on trumped up charges, I acted fast to deposit this money in a security company abroad, waiting to have an honest person that will assist me in withdrawing and investing the money in his or her country.
Now I wish to solicit for your assistance to transfer this money out of the security company and into your account to be applied towards investment in your country. For your assistance I propose to give you a commission of 20% of the total sum involved, which you shall deduct immediately the money is
cleared the consignment that contains the funds from the security company in Europe, as i have mapped out 5% to cover ever miscellenous expenses you may incurre at the course of clearing the consignment.
Please, I implore you to exercise the utmost discretion in keeping this matter very confidential, whatever your decision will be. Contact me immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Mrs. Maryam. Abacha.
